Good for Eddie

They're outraged, but they want to continue to joke the situation

and I swear the only reason they have black people on SNL is so they can joke black people without black face

Without a doubt. Remember they had the white guy playing fucking Obama before public pressure and common sense said "hey how about hiring a fucking black person!!!?"

Eddie toook chris rock under his wings and u think he produced and hired redd foxx when redd had the irs seize his property by hiring him for a cbs show.sadly redd foxx died. But i think eddie had something to do with the show.
Eddie was smart to get that family movie dr dolittle paper and not just action or comedy. Many young acts would not be here...of course no richard no eddie

:hmm:

it is somewhat sickening to see how this sequence of events almost played out. for the pro-cosby crowd it is messed up how they trotted out norm to set this up. and it seems like norm realizes what he did was wrong on several levels of disrespect to eddie (and maybe even others)....and he sends out some damage control tweets in the end, which steer some towards praise eddie.


for the white people (99.9% of them) who think that cosby is guilty, why would they support and produce something which makes fun of the situation revolving around cosby and the women?


these are the other tweets that were not included in the OPs original post:

He's a director and one of the women who are accusing Cosby is related to him.

Eddie Murphy on Declining to Play Bill Cosby on ‘SNL 40

Eddie Murphy is opening up about his decision to turn down returning to “Saturday Night Live” to play Bill Cosby during a sketch for the show’s 40th anniversary.

“It’s horrible,” he told The Washington Post. “There’s nothing funny about it. If you get up there and you crack jokes about him, you’re just hurting people. You’re hurting him. You’re hurting his accusers. I was like, ‘Hey, I’m coming back to ‘SNL’ for the anniversary, I’m not turning my moment on the show into this other thing.’ ”​

In February during the airing of the show, Murphy appeared on stage briefly, but did not play Bill Cosby during a “Celebrity Jeopardy” sketch, which he reportedly was originally slated to do.

According to Norm Macdonald, who co-wrote the sketch, Murphy entertained the idea of portraying Cosby at first. Murphy changed his mind the day before, saying he felt “uncomfortable.”

“He knew the laughs would bring the house down,” Macdonald tweeted. But, he added, Murphy decided “the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down.”​

For his part, Murphy agreed that the sketch was hilarious.

“I totally understood,” he said. “It was the biggest thing in the news at the time. I can see why they thought it would be funny, and the sketch that Norm wrote was hysterical.”​

Kenan Thompson eventually played the embattled comedian in the sketch, which also featured Will Ferrell, Macdonald, Darrell Hammond and Kate McKinnon.
